"It would be very easy to say that these students are the stars of tomorrow. That would be inaccurate: They are stars of today"

FIRST ACT: MIDDLE SCHOOL

"Middle school at First Act truly is an amazing phase for student development. Here we start to fine tune the skills of our young actors. We focus not only on improving performance techniques but give our students the self-reflective time to understand the how and why of performance. Yes, students will still continue their development from creative games, devising drama and exploration tasks that they studied in lower school. Moreover, in this next phase they will be given the theoretical understanding behind the importance of performance development which will further enhance their ability under the spotlight.We work together as a creative family to drive forward with passion, determination , concentrating on the importance of effective use of skill, to inspire others to open their hearts and minds to the endless possibilities within a career in the arts.
